TACK ARTHUR CUNDY, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.

RING FOR CURTAINS AND THE LIKE.

Application filed June 12, 1922.

T all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, J ACK ARTHUR CUNDY, a subject of the King of England, residing at 12 Baker Street, London, Kingdom of England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in and Relating to Rings for Curtains and the like, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to curtain rings or stirrups of the kind formed for sliding engagement with the curtain rod or support and with the curtain, one arm or hook being provided on the ring for suspending the curtain and another for keeping the upper 1 heading or border thereof in an uprlght position.

-In the drawings, the figure is a view in elevation of the improvement.

Now according to the present invention I provide a curtain ring or stirrup of the kind described formed from a single piece of wire which is bent at or about its middle to form a ring or stirrup 1 to slide on the curtain rod or support and also shaped 2 so as to provide a pair of arms 2 and 3 extending vertically one above and one below the ring, both of said arms being adapted for engagement with the curtain for suspending same and for keeping the upper portion upright.

In one way of carrying the present inven- Serial No. 567,714.

tion into effect the usualsliding part upon the curtain rodwhich may be either a ring or a stirrup-is provided with arms extending vertica1ly0ne upward and one down 85 ward. The downward extension is connected with the curtain in such a manner that the weight of the curtain itself is utilized to maintain the upper extension in an upright position. This upper extension carries the heading of the curtain, supporting it at a convenient height above the curtain rod, as may be required. The attachment of the curtain to the device may be done by means of hooks a and b.

What I claim is 3 A curtain ring and support, comprising a single length of material coiled intermediate its ends into ring form and projected above and below the ring to form arms with the lower arm of greater length, said arms being aligned diametrically of the ring, with the terminals of each arm formed-with upwardly-opening hooks, whereby to facilitate the application of a curtain and utilize the greater length of the lower arm under theweight of the curtain to always maintain the arms aligned vertically in use.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.

JACK ARTHUR CUNDY,
